Available to hire
Hi, I’m Andrew Sharps, I specialise in the local radio and TV sectors.
I can manage, strategize and plan to make the most efficent use of limited resources and that also means sometimes I do the voice overs.
Currently I’m focused on managing radio stations or TV channels and making them shine. I bridge client needs with development teams, design new functionalities for major networks, and lead implementations for both linear and on‑demand channels worldwide. I’m excited to bring this energy to your station and help grow audience and revenue.
